2012 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD w/Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

My 3rd CRV so I'm sold on Honda and I mostly love this one.
However, there was an issue with the battery - had the car seven months when the battery died. Very strange but it was the middle of winter where we had a string of below zero days. Replaced it and went along until 6 months after that when the battery died again. Triple A could not even
jump it so had it slow charged and then took it to the dealer.
There is a battery drain issue with these models (Honda Service Bulletin 12-041). Dealer upgraded software and so far so good.

Your post was a little over a year ago. Can you or anyone else confirm that the service bulletin 12-041 actually corrected the faulty charging problem for good? Have you had any similar problems since the software update? I really need to know as I am looking at a 2012 CRV EX-L and it's VIN is listed in the bulletin. This car's battery was dead when the salesperson tried to start it so I could test drive it! Please respond.
